Numi Yoga isn't just a yoga studio; it's a shared workspace, an art gallery, and a special events venue, too. First and foremost, Numi is a community gathering place where people come to exercise, socialize, and simply escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you want to unwind after a long day at the office, come to a Calm class. This aptly named yoga session starts with sketching or journaling (BYO paper and pencil) and then moves into some postures, focused breath, and guided meditation. For a more rigorous workout, come to the Power Yoga class. The room is heated to 85 to 90 degrees so that practitioners can really melt into the fast-flowing Vinyasa routine. Keep an eye out for workshops, special events, and Numi's open hours, when you're invited to use the studio as a study space or a workspace.

There's a reason Old Line Fine Wine, Spirits & Bistro is one of Maryland's biggest and most popular beer, wine, and spirits stores, and when you visit this place in the heart of Beltsville, you'll understand why. First of all, the stock here is huge, and you'll find thousands of bottles just waiting to be purchased and poured. But what really sets this place apart from the rest is that in addition to being a wine and liquor store, Old Line also serves a full food menu.

Head over to the in-shop restaurant and order the brisket burger, which is the hands-down favorite among Yelp reviewers, and be sure to get a side of truffle fries, which are a local favorite (get yours with a bit of parmesan sprinkled on top). What's more, the store periodically hosts wine and beer tastings, educational seminars on identifying different wine flavors and terroirs, and more. Check the website for a full schedule.
